In poker, we call it a "series saver." It means burying yourself out of a financial hole by hitting a big score as the tournament schedule nears a close.
Aussie player Daniel Hope is making a habit of it lately.
After only recording a pair of min-cashes during the Star Sydney Championships entering Sunday, Hope won the $550 Bountry Re-entry Event for $23,610, plus another $900 for the nine bounties that he collected throughout the tournament. Amazingly, Hope did the same thing in back in May when he took down the final event during the Crown Poker Championship in Melbourne.
